Old fashioned candy never looked so good! Rock candy or swizzle sticks as some call it have been around since the crack of dawn. Not only is rock candy yummy tp eat and fun to look at with all its beautiful rainbows of color but it can also double as an interesting science project in the art of crystalization. But honestly are we really interested in that right now? No I didn't think so! With its wide pallette of colors you can customize this candy to go with any party decor. Of course you can buy it in bulk but why not have some fun and make it at home intead? There are MANY rock candy recipes online but the one that caught my attention was the "sugar free" recipe...well almost sugar free! Now there is no reason to deprive that diabetic at your party or the one who's watching their weight. You can find the recipe here. To add flavor check out Lorann's Oils for candy. You can find them here. Ummm imagine mango or watermelon flavor rock candies? Oh the fun you can have!

About Me (The Boring Stuff!)

I'm in love with all things CUTE!!!! If it's whimsical, I have to have it! I spend alot of time on the internet (my husband would say TOO MUCH!) looking up crafty things and products. This led me to start building my own shop on Etsy where I make wobbly chipboard epoxy buttons for all your crafting and altered art needs (www.thelemondroptree.etsy.com) as well as my own blog where I'll be showcasing some of these items along with other finds and also posting tutorials on how to make many crafty items for those of you who share my passion!
